Posting Again - Are there any issues if we stay in India and get salary in USD

[pvelamur]

I became an USA citizen in 2011 May and got my PIO card.
In my current job I can work remotely by staying any where in the world. My manager is ok with me to work from India
with the USA salary.
What are the tax implications. Do we need to stay in this country for any specific time during a year if you are receiving salary here

You can live anywhere and get paid in any currency. As a US citizen you will have to pay US income taxes.

As a US citizen, you pay taxes to the IRS on your world income. See the IRS website for further details.

When it comes to US Salary while living out side US is lot simpler. your company would deduct all federal, state, ss, medicare taxes at source so you would file as if you are US employee. Only difference is, you are not in US physically.

Am I missing something here?

You're missing the non-payment state taxes. I imagine he's not a resident of any state.

Good point but it also depends on which state he is from as well as whether his employer has US address on file or non-US address..
